KubeSphere is a distributed operating system for cloud-native application management built on Kubernetes. It provides multi-cluster control, DevOps, observability, service mesh, app store, and edge support through a core platform and extensions. This repository is the platform source, not just a reusable agent tool or prompt pack.
Builders who want to operate Kubernetes across clouds, datacenters, and edge from one platform.
You can manage clusters, apps, pipelines, and observability from one Kubernetes control plane.
A central control plane for managing multiple Kubernetes clusters and spreading apps across them.
Built-in GitOps-style delivery with Argo CD support and Jenkins integration.
Monitoring, events, auditing logs, alerting, and notification for multi-tenant environments.
Istio-based traffic management, tracing, and topology visualization.
Workspace isolation, role-based access control, and quota management.
KubeEdge integration for deploying and observing workloads on edge devices.

🎮 KubeSphere Lite provides you with free, stable, and out-of-the-box managed cluster service. After registration and login, you can easily create a K8s cluster with KubeSphere installed in only 5 seconds and experience feature-rich KubeSphere.
🖥 You can view the Demo Video to get started with KubeSphere.
KubeSphere 4.x adopts a microkernel + extension components architecture (codename LuBan). The core part (KubeSphere Core) only includes the essential basic functions required for system operation, with independent functional modules split and provided in the form of extension components. Users can dynamically manage the extension components during system operation. With the extension capabilities, KubeSphere can support more application scenarios and meet the needs of different users.
🎉 KubeSphere v4.1.2 was released! It brings enhancements and better user experience, see the Release Notes For 4.1.2 for the updates.
KubeSphere can run anywhere from on-premise datacenter to any cloud to edge. In addition, it can be deployed on any version-compatible Kubernetes cluster. KubeSphere consumes very few resources, and you can optionally install additional extensions after installation.
Run the following commands to install KubeSphere on an existing Kubernetes cluster:
helm upgrade --install -n kubesphere-system --create-namespace ks-core https://charts.kubesphere.io/main/ks-core-1.1.3.tgz --debug --wait
KubeSphere is hosted on the following cloud providers, and you can try KubeSphere by one-click installation on their hosted Kubernetes services.
You can also install KubeSphere on other hosted Kubernetes services within minutes, see the step-by-step guides to get started.
